आश्लेषा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
गायत्रीलक्षजाप्येन जपं कुर्यात्प्रसन्नधीः ॥दशांशं हवनं देवि मार्जनं तर्पणं तथा ॥ १२ ॥
With a calm mind he should do a hundred thousand japa (repeating a mantra). It is of the Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant). Then, O Goddess, a tenth part as homa (fire offering). Also marjana (sprinkling) and tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods).
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्य शांतिं प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु देवि सुशोभने ॥
I will tell the remedy for it. Listen, lovely Goddess. He should give a tenth part to a brahmin, O dear one of the gods.
दशवर्णास्ततो दद्याद्ब्राह्मणाय वरानने ॥
Then, fair-faced one, he should give dashavarna (a gift of ten colours) to a brahmin. When this is done, no doubt, a fine son is born.
रोगाः सर्वे क्षयं यान्ति नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ १४॥
All illnesses end. Have no doubt about this.
